Abstract Introduction Jejuno-jejunal invagination is a rare condition and is usually caused by a benign lesion. We describe the case of a patient with a jejunal epithelioid sarcoma. Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare histologic subtype of sarcoma and few cases have been published. Case presentation A 70-year-old Caucasian man presented with vomiting and anemia. A jejuno-jejunal invagination was diagnosed and the patient underwent surgery. An epithelioid sarcoma of the wall of the jejunum was found on the invaginated ansa. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge an epithelioid sarcoma has never been reported to arise at the wall of the proximal jejunum or to present with jejuno-jejunal invagination. Introduction Adult jejuno-jejunal invagination is unusual 1 and it presents as a high bowel occlusion and or obstruction requiring urgent surgical treatment. Usually the cause is a benign lesion of the jejunal wall. Neoplastic disease seldom occurs in the small bowel .
